A Chicago suburb has been battered by a string of recent crimes committed by migrants who live in or near the Windy City.
From Oct. 23 to Jan. 17, a total of 47 migrants were arrested in Oak Brook, Illinois, mostly for alleged property crimes, according to Brian Strockis, the chief of police for the Oak Brook Police Department.
Most of the migrants who were arrested were charged with retail theft and burglary, Strockis told Fox News Digital.
The latest incident involved an Ecuadorian migrant who resides in Chicago and is accused of stealing more than $3,000 worth of merchandise from retail stores and evading Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) supervision by cutting off his electronic monitoring device.

On Jan. 13, Oak Brook officers responded to a retail theft call from a local Macy's store. Upon arrival, and after conducting an investigation into what took place, officers found that 32-year-old Jaime Ubaldo Obando-Andrade entered the store and put on a jacket with an approximate value of $395 and left without paying for it.
Following a search of Obando-Andrade's vehicle, officers "found approximately $3,000 worth of suspected stolen merchandise as well as rolls of tinfoil," according to a press release from the office of DuPage County State's Attorney Robert Berlin.
Additionally, Berlin's office noted that officers located an ICE monitoring device that Obando-Andrade "had allegedly cut off," as well as a fake Washington driver’s license that featured the defendant’s photograph with a different name.
Obando-Andrade, who first appeared in court on Sunday, has been charged with one count of burglary, a class 2 felony, and one count of retail theft, a class 3 felony. Earlier this week, it was announced that Judge Michael Burton had granted the state’s motion to deny pre-trial release for the defendant. Obando-Andrade is due back in court next month."It is very simple, if you steal in DuPage County, you will be apprehended, charged and prosecuted."
